Ok. This has been one hell of a week, what with all the shitzz to submit.

Been almost completely cut off from the www for most of the week. Simply because I haven't the discipline to stay away from the numerous distractions that make up the internet, and had to self-impose an internet ban so that I could focus on the pieces of work at hand.

(I even had to cut off time with my Precious!!! ; _ ;)

...I don't even want to list all the work I had to do this week...But I guess I'll go post the landscape technical drawing piece. Because that was the most backbreaking piece I had to do. (Anyone wanna try bending over a drafting table for 4 hours straight?)

Simply put, I'm glad it's over. <3

Ok, so, today was a mix of pissy-ness and awesome.

Let's start with the awesome:
1) For once, my pottery project will turn out nice. ^^

2) After cursing and swearing over last week about having to copy THIS logo on Adobe Illustrator, I was told that my term project involved making a promotional materials (such as brochures and the like) for that tattoo studio! \o/ (Not for their use, but still, it's cooler than having to come up with stuffs for a traditional chinese medicine clinic with a shitty logo!)

Sidenote about the logo: That was about, what, 100 layers of shitz?! It was 200 actually; I lost the work that I did last week due to some cock up. It was tempting to give slipshod work for the 2nd attempt out of exasperation, but I guess I was being rather OCD about it, so it turned out pretty well.

There are a few other minor nice things, but I guess I'm just gonna list the main stuffs.

Now for the shitty.

I don't want to list all of them, but here's just one that I HAVE TO air. And because I'm such a lazy bum, here's just a copy of the conversation between razaera and me.

Read:( The conversation )

I have a love-hate relationship with my granny. As with most grannies, she pampered me loads when i was younger. I will always be grateful for that. Yet, even though i'd always go visit her with a ton of goodwill in mind, i often find my patience wearing thin.

Because she insists that i am and always will be a kid. Even though i have a job, am studying, can take care of myself and cook cor others without burning my kitchen.

If i were indeed a kid, all i'd feel is indignance and a need to insist (with all petulance) that i'm not all kid.

But all i feel now is a great sense of insult and sadness. And more terribly, a sense of estrangement from my once-beloved granny.

It's easy to go "Aiyah, cut her some slack. She is bedridden due to lung cancer. It's hard for her to keep up with your life." And every kind, gentle person would profess their agreement to such a view. Until they are in such a scenario.

Because, when your granny vehemently insists on treating you as a kid, what she is essentially doing, is rejecting what you really are. And once anybody does that, not just your granny in particular, they make themselves strangers to you. Permanently. And, when it is someone you love treating you as such, all you'll feel is pain. For all that you can maintain, is probably a mere polite relationship.

...It's too hard trying to get her to know me. I feel like giving up.

Ok, so my other half and I went shopping today. We snagged a box expecting it this:
in 8 inches

But when we opened it up, we got this instead:
in 8 inches

Scratching our heads, we thought that it was a mix up. And went back to the shop, thinking of exchanging it for the pink version. But, upon seeing the gleam in the shopkeeper's eyes, we realised that it was an unannounced chase! \o/

I swear, my darling has the best luck in this sort of matters. So he'll be my lucky draw representative from now. XD

Thank you, my precious~! <3

Oh-kay. It's gonna be a nice long weekend for most people out there at the end of this week. But, once again, I'm working when everyone else...isn't. And will be missing a Korean BBQ dinner and a doll-meet. (Or maybe there's some way around that...? We'll see about that. *grins*)

Instead, I shall be stuck at the Expo for most of the weekend, as my firm's decided to have yet another exhibition...

It's funny working when everyone isn't, and not working when most people are, but I guess I'm now getting used to it. A bit of a bummer when it comes to the social aspect of life, but hey, the pay's good for the amount of work put in, so I'm cool with that.

In any case, if anyone's going down to the expo over the weekend for the food fair or the IT sale, just gimme a holler. I will be in Hall 6B, selling my... services. XD

Oh oh oh. And I suddenly had a good sense of how mature I am. Or, more accurately, how immature. For I'm excited about a bunch of coloured mechanical pencil leads and a new mechanical pencil. XD

Check these out. I definitely had a good laugh.
